We had an outstanding experience at Hope Cove House. The warm and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like a true home away from home, and the dining was absolutely exquisite. While the hotel is tucked away and may require some navigation to find, the stunning scenery and family-friendly environment made it worthwhile. We particularly loved the delicious food, though it was a bit of a splurge for us at times.
